    Tech Dispenser call to action redesign

    I was tasked with redesigning Tech Dispenser's call to action. Previously its value proposition was a tagline, but I pointed the user in a specific direction, added some steps to clarify the process and included an image that depicts the final product.

    Computerworld newsletter signup forms

    Five of IDG's sites needed a redesign of their newsletter signup forms, so I created a simpler and more intuitive user interface for Computerworld, NetworkWorld, ITworld, CIO and InfoWorld. It wasn't my idea to pre-check additional newsletters, but we'll have to wait and see how they convert.

    Terrene website redesign, version 2

    Terrene previously had a flash-based layout with a disorganized navigation. I created a new design incorporating a lot more whitespace, cleaner imagery and a more intuitive navigation.

    Social media marketing for Boston Academy of English

    This is the landing page for an SEO project I did for Boston Academy of English. My colleague and I wrote and distributed articles, videos and links, created thriving Facebook and MySpace fan pages, and built a Drupal-based site and email capture system. All but two of our keyword phrases became top-listed in Google.

    Wallcoaster affiliate marketing project

    The inventors of the Wallcoaster contacted me after seeing one of my videos for a related product and asked if I'd be willing to create a viral video for them in exchange for affiliate commissions on referral sales. Grass-rootsy viral video marketing is exploding on YouTube, so I was happy to take on the project.

    Growth Spark website redesign, version 2

    Here's my second draft of a redesign for Growth Spark. I made it simple and different, with dark colors to accentuate the brightness of the portfolio. Ultimately the company went with a different design, but this was a good opportunity to experiment with a darker color scheme, which I hadn't used before.
